We're not yet back in the gym and DD L8 wants panel mats. Is the $90 walmart version fine or we need the $130 gym-branded one? Any guidance?

Our county order specifically forbids gymnasitics studios from reopening, but gives as an example, exclusive use of a gymnastics facility as allowable for summer camp. So confusing. Any NorCal teams back in the gym? What county?
